Hi Konstantin,

Thanks for you e-mail.
I followed the instructions but the problem is still there: It is not that a
wrong time to discharge is showed, but a message saying the battery is
critically low is shown every time I disconnect the laptop from AC power. Also,
the computer never hibernates (it does not even try to) when the battery reaches
a critical level, even when it is configured under power management to do so.
Let me know if I can be of any assistance to solve this issue.
Thanks again,

Marcelo.
